Join us in discussing the issues of racism and prejudice in our policing and justice systems both here and in the US .
The issue of systemic racism in policing has been highlighted in recent years by the murders of George Floyd in the US and Chris Kaba in the UK. So despite worldwide attention, is policing still entrenched in systemic racism – or is there cause for hope?
What are the differences in attitudes towards police and policing between the UK and US? What systems are in place to prevent discrimination and ensure equal protection for everyone? And how might we go about reforming these institutions to create a justice system that is fair, fit, and effective for all? Join us in discussing all these important issues with our guest speakers.
Featuring talks from: Tolulope Eboka, Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Kingston University| Professor Jon Garland, University of Surrey.
